Jeremy Conley, a longtime producer at 98.5 The Sports Hub, passed away Friday night after a brief illness. He was 41 years old.
The station announced the news in a statement Friday afternoon that read in part: “He will be deeply missed by all of us. Our condolences go out to Jeremy’s family and friends.”
The station did not divulge his illness.
Conley had been at the Sports Hub since 2011, when he came to the station as a member of its “street team” promotions arm. After moving to the production side, his dependability and poise helped him quickly climb the ranks.
He worked five Patriots Super Bowls during his 15 years at The Sports Hub and has has been the executive producer of the station’s Patriots and Bruins broadcasts since 2023.

Mark Bertrand, co-host of the midday “Zolak and Bertrand” show, choked up as he talked about Conley in the second hour of Friday’s show with Tim McKone, the usual third voice who filled in for co-host Scott Zolak.
“It has come as a shock to everybody here, to put it as plainly as I can,’’ said Bertrand.
“Maybe you know Jeremy Conley’s name because Jeremy certainly had a presence here … he was great at his job, he was great at what he did here, [and] everybody that ever worked with Jeremy knew that he was incredibly dependable and one of those people that like so many of our producers can handle it when something goes wrong.”
Bertrand said Conley’s dry sense of humor will be missed.
“He wasn’t afraid to laugh, and if you got Jeremy Conley laughing … it was sort of validation that whatever the hell had just come out of your mouth was real and funny.
“We’ll miss him, we’ll miss his laugh, and we’ll miss everything that he brought to the job.”
